Anderwood said:Dandelions, lambs quarters, comfrey and borage are all dynamic accumulators. Chop them down and leave them on your beds or put them in your compost. They take up many nutrients from the soil and release them when they decompose.


Not questioningnyou, but I just heard that cover crops should be cut down and either tilled into the soil or spaded in rather than left to dry up and decompose on top of the soil. Has anyone else heard this?
